Macaroni cheese is a favourite in our family so I like to add extra goodness by including vegetables and eggs in my recipe. Be warned. Once you’ve tried this recipe you may never be satisfied with plain macaroni and cheese again.

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked macaroni

25g butter

1 tbsp flour

1 cup milk

1 cup grated tasty cheese

½ cauliflower, cut into small florets

½ can creamed sweetcorn

½ cup frozen peas

2 – 3 hardboiled eggs

4 rashers bacon

½ – 1 cup grated cheese

2-3 slices bread or packet breadcrumbs

Cook the macaroni, cauliflower and bacon

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add 1 cup macaroni and stir to loosen all the pieces. Cook the macaroni at a rolling boil for 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Add the cauliflower to the pot halfway through.

When cooked, drain the macaroni and cauliflower into a sieve and rinse with water to stop the macaroni sticking. Put aside until it’s needed.

Pumpkin Soup is an easy, hearty dish to cook in the cold months of winter.One thing I love to do is cook my soup and stews on our wood-burner stove. With the fire turned down low, it heats the house and at the same time, our dinner simmers for hours. The flavours merge and mingle and the soup or stew is tender and delicious.

Bread maker machines are advertised as easy to use — and they are, once you get to know them. But your first results can be disappointingly deflating. Small, dense and under-cooked loaves are often a problem for new machine owners. You can, of course, go with a bread mix, which has all the ingredients in one bag. Just add yeast and water and you’re ready to go.

But if you’d rather start from scratch, here are ten tips to make sure your loaves are the best every single time.
